Secondly thanks to the wine society for emailing me about this offer (I am smarting a little less about the Chave 2015).

However I am looking at it somewhat blankly. I like Barolo but I have been stung by some rather bland and expensive versions. The word on the street seems to be that 2015 is a good ripe vintage which suits me fine. I bought the Pio Cesare from the last offer (2013) but have yet to try it. Although I have pretensions to like old school wines I must admit I do like a bit of fruit and depth, but not oak so much. I thought I would put a toe into the Burlotto wines which seem to have attracted a lot of attention.
